There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 15.2

Qin Yan said, “It’s simple. Since you and Qin Ke have mutual feelings, all you need is a catalyst.”

“A catalyst?”

“Yes, an opportunity—I can help create that opportunity for you.” Qin Yan smiled gently, but her eyes were cold, “For example, letting you and Qin Ke be in a closed room, just the two of you—for a whole night?”

“…”

Gao Hao was stunned.

He breathed a little faster, but quickly shook his head, coming back to his senses.

“Are you crazy?—This is a military training base!”

Qin Yan sneered.

“Are you overthinking it? I only said to let you two stay in a room, I didn’t say you had to do anything—what are you so scared of?”

Gao Hao frowned, “What do you really mean? Stop being cryptic.”

Qin Yan said, “It’s simple. Tomorrow night, you find someone to send a text message notifying about a meeting in the bulletin board group. Then I’ll borrow Qin Ke’s phone—then you can send another message canceling the meeting.”

Gao Hao thought for a couple of seconds and began to understand.

“So, Qin Ke would be the only one not knowing the meeting was canceled and would go to the bulletin board group’s tool room?”

Then he frowned again, “But what’s the use? When she sees no one there, she’ll definitely leave.”

Qin Yan said, “What if someone ‘accidentally’ locked you two inside at that moment?”

“You mean—”

Gao Hao’s eyes shifted.

Qin Yan shrugged with a smile, “Then no one can be blamed. The bulletin board group’s workshop is far from the dormitory area. Hardly anyone passes by at night—her phone won’t be there, and yours will have ‘accidentally’ been forgotten.”

Qin Yan crossed her arms.

“So, you two would naturally have to stay inside for the night, and wait until someone comes to open the door in the morning—isn’t that right?”

Gao Hao’s expression was uncertain, and he didn’t speak.

Qin Yan added another sentence.

“But what happens overnight to strengthen your relationship will be up to you.”

Gao Hao said, “Wouldn’t this be…not too good?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Qin Yan reassured him, “You two already like each other. This is just adding a catalyst—worst case scenario, no one is forcing you not to be a gentleman. You can chat with her about anything in there, and no one will say a word, right?”

Gao Hao’s eyes lit up.

——

As Qin Yan said, the initiative was entirely in his hands. He could advance or retreat as he saw fit.

Seeing Gao Hao’s hesitation, Qin Yan pretended to get up—

“This doesn’t benefit me in any way. If you don’t want to do it, let’s forget I mentioned it.”

With that, she started walking towards the door.

Gao Hao quickly stopped her.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree.”

Facing away from Gao Hao, Qin Yan’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

“So, you agree?”

Gao Hao asked, “Are you sure you won’t tell Qin Ke about this later?”

“Of course not. What would I gain from that?”

“…Alright.”

Gao Hao finally couldn’t hold back, excitement flickering in his eyes.

“If this works out, I’ll definitely thank you properly.”

Qin Yan turned and gave him a gentle smile.

“You said it, don’t go back on your word.”

As the words fell, Qin Yan turned back, her smile instantly vanishing.

She looked at the door with a twisted expression, clenching her fingers tightly.

——

It didn’t matter if anything happened between Gao Hao and Qin Ke. As long as the day after tomorrow morning, the Literature and Art Department’s bulletin board group saw them walk out of the tool room where they spent the night…

At that time, just a little gossip from her would be enough to ruin Qin Ke!

Qin Yan’s eyes gleamed with a hateful yet satisfied smile.

——

Qin Ke, this is the consequence of stealing what’s mine.

I don’t believe Huo Jun will still like you by then!

In the infirmary,

Under the glaring white light, the two of them, each harboring dark thoughts, smiled sinisterly.

What they didn’t notice was the shadow hidden in the corner outside the infirmary door. Unable to stay still any longer, it finally moved, silently retreating and then quickly leaving.

……

Two minutes later.

Finally reaching a more populated area of the base, Gu Xinqing’s heart was pounding almost out of her throat.

Her face was pale and unsightly, but she couldn’t care less. She pulled out her phone from the pocket of the coat she was clutching tightly.

Gu Xinqing wiped the sweat from her palm, swallowed, and quickly dialed a number.

“Pick up the phone… pick up the phone, Ke Ke…”

Gu Xinqing muttered nervously.

A few seconds later, the call suddenly connected.

Qin Ke’s voice came from the other end.

“Xinqing?”

“Ke Ke! Where are you right now!?” Gu Xinqing clutched the phone tightly, urgently asking.

Qin Ke was taken aback, “I’m in the bulletin board group’s tool room. What’s up?”

Gu Xinqing said, “I’m coming to find you! It’s urgent! Wait for me there!”

After speaking, Gu Xinqing hung up, took a deep breath, and started running towards the tool room.
